What do you think about AChat Using SQLite instead of SMF MySQL DB?
« on: 02 Nov 2009 02:23:30 AM »
using SQLite might be beneficial as we could get speed improvements and faster turnaround on development since we wont have to worry about attaching to the SMF Database system, it would also make it easier to remove AChat or backup/log any conversations!

But the downside is if servers do not support SQLite 2 (were not going to use the latest 3.0 since its widely not supported!).

So please vote and help us decide!

I like it since you just attach to a file and away you go, no messing about contacting a SQL server logging in and etc :/ lol

I don't think this makes sense. SMF is on MySQL and all users must then have MySQL. If AChat is going to be made independent of the system, that's fine. If not, I don't see the point in using two systems. I, for example, don't have SQLite. MySQL is also the general standard for the average user-- it can be used by more people.
One thing you could do to make it work would be to have some different prefix than SMF.

Personally I am probably not going to update my version of AChat after having customized it, so it won't hurt me if you do change it, but I think others would find MySQL useful also.
